The drama stars Gary Oldman (Oppenheimer) as misanthropic has-been Jackson Lamb. Despite his brains, his lot in life is to head up the ‘Slow Horses’, a not-so-affectionate nickname for the MI5 department where promising careers go to die.

The series three trailer sees Lamb saunter into a church with his usual bad attitude and worse dress sense. He is informed by Ingrid Tearney (Sophie Okonedo) that the Slow Horses are expected to go up against a MI5 team gone rogue. To make matters worse, Lamb’s brother-in-arms Catherine Standish (Saskia Reeves) has been kidnapped.

Two statistics released in recent months have made people sit up and pay attention to the burgeoning progress made by the streaming service Apple TV+. In May, the Jason Sudeikis-fronted football comedy drama, Ted Lasso, became the first Apple show to feature in Barb’s SVoD average UK monthly audience top 20.

It came in at number 18, with around 963,000 viewers – well below the most-watched (Netflix’s Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, seen by around 3 million) but a milestone nonetheless.

The screenwriter about to become a studio mogul; the boardgame inventor whose next drama will launch Apple’s foray into television; the Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? creator nominated for an Oscar – there are many ways to paraphrase the extraordinary career of Steven Knight. Let’s start, however, with the blacksmith’s son who launched a million haircuts.

One of the first original series, comedy-drama The Morning show, has pulled in big names Jennifer Anniston, Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carell in starring roles.

Anniston and Witherspoon will play two of the biggest names in US breakfast telly, helping to wake up the people of America every day. 

A teaser for the upcoming series has been released featuring the voices of Carell, Witherspoon and Anniston.

During the video, each give their own unique take on what makes good TV news, while the camera pans around an empty newsroom.
